Hey guys, this will be my second mod.

Today I decided I would giving modding another go, my first mod was a Lanboy with a 7" LCD and modded side panel and the case was painted orange.

Now I am looking at this case which I can get new for $10 so it seams Ideal to me for modding.

what do you guys think?

The case isn't too great obviosly with only one rear fan but I plan on adding the following mods.

1 rear 80mm/120mm fan, 1 side 120mm fan, one top 120mm fan and one front 80mm fan
Clear side window panel
Red trim painted green
Front mounted 7" LCD
Front drive bay mounted temp display
Paint the insides black
Some UV stuff, dunno what yet though

and here is what I have got in my mind, did it quickly in paint so I could share with you guys:up:

From the looks of the first picture, the grommets on the lower back, are you planning on water cooling? As far as the second picture goes, I would move the side vent/fan higher to where the cpu is. I would also make two smaller openings in the front fan/vent because the vent on the front bezel is so narrow. Are you going to top or bottom mount the PSU? Also what is behind what looks like a door mid-bezel?

Another idea would be to put a matching flush silver trim around the LCD to tie into the front bezel frame.

Other than that it looks like a good start to me. Overall I think that the case is a good blank canvas and has alot of potential.
